Bringing Even More Technology Resources to Kansas City SMBs Photo: Pexels By Jim Griffith, CEO, Corporate Technologies If you’re an SMB looking for a managed services provider (MSP), you don’t usually have to look too far.

Bringing Even More Technology Resources to Kansas City SMBs

By Jim Griffith, CEO, Corporate Technologies

If you’re an SMB looking for a managed services provider (MSP), you don’t usually have to look too far. There are as many as 40,000 in the United States alone. 

What’s harder to find is one that’s robust enough to handle the growing technology challenges most SMBs are facing — and one that’s local enough to deliver the hands-on service they need.

Corporate Technologies’ acquisition of Corporate Technologies KC is part of our goal to build a nationwide IT MSP that gives SMBs everywhere the power of a national team with a local focus.

Corporate Technologies KC had long been helping faith-based organizations, nonprofits and small businesses with their technology needs. Now, as Corporate Technologies, we’ll provide that same local service, backed by the broader support of our national team. We have dedicated teams for help desk, field support and project support services that really strengthen what the Corporate Technologies KC team was already offering to Kansas City SMBs.
